Dog owner and lover in Charlotte

Pet care experience

Six years ago I adopted an incredible puppy named Layla, and have been taking great care of her ever since. I’ve used Rover for dog boarding for her regularly ever since she was a puppy and have always loved the idea of one day helping others by taking care of their pups while they were away. I worked as a full-time teacher for most of the time that I’ve had Layla, so I never felt I could take on an additional pet during the day. My partner and I now have the ability to work from home several days out of the week, so am thrilled to be able to take care of your pups while you’re away! My partner rescued a fun, playful, energetic dog named Riley who loves playing with Layla. We have a big fenced-in back yard where your pup, Layla, and Riley could play, chase balls, and/or sunbathe, and I live in a great neighborhood for walks, runs, or dog park visits. Riley is still a pup and very energetic - loves to play. Layla is much more reserved - takes a bit to warm up to a new dog and won’t play quite as much as Riley - unless it’s fetch! But Layla loves to cuddle. I know they (and I!) would be thrilled to have another friend around!

Whitaker and Molly are great! They took great care of our dog, who had a great time with their two pups. Great communication and flexible with our schedule. Thank you!

Whitaker and Molly were great with Kodee. Kodee had so much fun playing in their backyard with their 2 dogs. Kodee didn’t want to leave.

Whitaker was kind, communicative and helpful throughout the whole process! This was my first time leaving Banks with someone other than family and after meeting him, I felt comfortable and confident the whole time. We received several photos and videos and she looked like she was having a blast.

Information Whitaker B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any needs that we should be aware of. Definitely prefer a meet and greet just to be sure with our pups - most of the time they’re happy to meet a new friend, but have had a couple of dogs that just didn’t quite mesh - was important to know that ahead of time and game plan :)

A typical day

We’ll do lots of play time in the backyard, as well as plenty of good walks along the greenway which runs right by our home!
